Yes, it was because Zhuang Jianye had a new routine and was not forcing himself to build a helicopter, but found the cooperation of the Cidu Helicopter Co., Ltd., which made the head of the headquarters feel angry and rush up.

It’s not that the head of the headquarters opposes Zhuang Jianye’s approach. On the contrary, as long as the army’s equipment can be brought to a higher level and further towards the world’s advanced level, let alone cooperation, or the two sides merge, the head of the headquarters will support it with both hands and feet.

The problem is that you Tengfei Group and Cidu Helicopter Co., Ltd. are technically one plus one is greater than two, so shouldn't the price be less than zero?

As a result, the unit price of the Haozhi-8plus heavy helicopter soared to RMB 180 million.

How much did it cost when we first introduced the Su-27 fighter? It was only over 100 million yuan, but it was the third-generation heavy air worry fighter. As a result, a helicopter was actually 80% more expensive than the third-generation heavy fighter.

At that time, the head of the headquarters saw the offer of the Zhi-8plus heavy helicopter and he didn't believe that the numbers in front of him were true. Shouldn't the cost of domestic equipment be lower? Why is the Zhi-8plus heavy helicopter so high? 180 million yuan, is Tengfei Group and Cidu Helicopter Co., Ltd. working together to engage in research and development, or join forces to grab money?

However, what made him depressed was that such aviation equipment, such as the more expensive than the Su-27 fighter, the Army Aviation Force, the Air Force Airborne Force, the Marine Corps and the Carrier-based Helicopter Force, were drooling and shouting, "I want it, I want it."

This is like an old father who has worked hard to support his family. Facing a prodigal son who is desperate to buy a Lamborghini to show off despite his family background, he is not one, but four jumps.

It is conceivable how my old father would feel. He just pointed at a few unfilial sons and scolded the beast.

I don’t know how expensive it is to be a businessman.

After the end of the arrogance incident, the country increased its military expenditure proportion, and the annual military expenditure growth amount also entered a fast lane, which seemed to have improved compared to a few years ago, but the problem is that the troops have left too many debts since the reform and opening up.

Not to mention anything else, the welfare benefits of military personnel have been maintained at a very low level for more than ten years. At the moment of rapid economic development, we cannot expect officers and soldiers to rely on their passion to join the army and fight, right?

Officers and soldiers are also human beings, and they are also people who have elders and subordinates and want to support their wives and children. If they cannot be treated well, who will defend the motherland, who will defend the family, and who will defend her again?

Therefore, most of the majority of the increase in military expenditure over the years has been smoothed out by the increase in personnel welfare.

What remains are the centralized construction of key troops and key equipment.

For example, the Army, based on the experience of the Gulf War, has temporarily suspended the armored troops and artillery that were previously focused on building, and instead fully supported the establishment and expansion of field air defense forces.

The reason for this is very simple. If future wars cannot solve the problem of air defense, no matter how advanced your tank is or how powerful the artillery firepower is, it is a living target for enemy air force attacks. It is simply that as much as you have, you can destroy as much as you can.

Because of this, before solving the field air defense capabilities, it would be useless even if other armies of the army reached the world's leading level.

But the problem is that the high cost of field air defense systems is not ordinary.

Usually, the construction cost of an ordinary field air defense missile battalion is three to five times that of an ordinary mechanized infantry battalion.

Therefore, most of the construction funds of the Army each year are completely consumed by the field air defense system. The Air Force, Navy, and Second Artillery are all like this. Coupled with the "trump card" plan, the chief executive still has insufficient funds.

Where can we help the land, navy and air force to purchase 180 million yuan per Z-8plus heavy helicopter on a large scale?

The Army Aviation Force, Airborne Force, Marine Corps and Carrier Helicopter Forces are certainly aware of the difficulties of the headquarters leader, but they can't withstand the Zhi-8plus heavy helicopter.

The army aviation forces can make up for the biggest shortcomings of the aerial assault forces with the Z-8plus heavy helicopter.

Airborne troops have a Z-8plus heavy helicopter and can have more flexible and changeable attack capabilities.

With the Marine Corps having the Zhi-8plus heavy helicopter, it is no longer a theory to land vertically in an established manner.

The carrier-based helicopter troops have a more reliable support for both the Z-8plus heavy helicopters, both at sea anti-submarine and at sea rescue.

In short, heavy helicopters are of too many use, and all troops want to make a breakthrough.

So the application documents were filled with snowflakes, and all the calculations were made. The good guy, the sea, land, air and the second artillery, needed a total of 287 Z-8plus heavy helicopters.

This is because the head of the headquarters constantly emphasized that it is necessary to declare according to the minimum requirements of the troops, otherwise the total number of applications for the Z-8plus heavy helicopters will exceed 400.

Even 287 aircraft are not a decimal. Based on the unit price of 180 million, it still requires RMB 51.66 billion.

Looking at this number, the head of the headquarters had a toothache, and then he took the application form from each unit to find Zhuang Jianye, the chairman and CEO of Tengfei Group, and Wang Wenyao, general manager of Cidu Helicopter Co., Ltd., thinking that the army had such a large order quantity, how could it be cheaper.

Not to mention a half-discount, it is always worth at least 20 to 30 million yuan, right?

As a result, after a fierce bargaining, the head of the headquarters only received a discount of 2 million yuan per aircraft, and the final transaction price was set at 178 million yuan.

He gave up his face to talk, and the psychological price was cut by 20 to 30 million, but only 2 million was obtained. The head of the headquarters was really unstoppable and he was angry at that time.

Zhuang Jianye and Wang Wenyao had no choice. It’s not that they didn’t want to lower the price. The problem is that the cost of the Zhi-8plus heavy helicopter has reached 154 million yuan. In addition to other expenses, the two companies actually didn’t make much money for a price of 178 million yuan.

So Zhuang Jianye and Wang Wenyao quickly took out the detailed cost list of the Z-8plus heavy helicopter. When the head of the headquarters saw this, even if he was still angry, he had nothing to say.

The cost of the Z-8plus heavy helicopter is indeed very high. After all, the heavy helicopter is different from other aircraft. The materials, engines and flight control systems they use are very special and cannot be applied to other aircraft models, so the R&D costs are extremely high.

This is also a common phenomenon in heavy helicopters around the world.

The unit price of the CH-47 Chinook heavy helicopter in the United States is US$38 million; the larger CH-53H "Super Stallion" has reached a sky-high price of US$100 million.

The Russian rice-26 heavy helicopter is less expensive than the American ones, but the unit price is 30 million US dollars. According to the intermediate exchange rate of 7, it also costs 210 million RMB.
